Evga vs nvidia

[e46]

Is there a difference between evga 1080 vs nvidia 1080? Does sli bridge matter or can I use a evga sli hb bridge with nvidia 1080?

The SLI bridges are the same. In terms of the cards themselves, the only difference is if the EVGA card uses an aftermarket cooler if it is the reference design, then no difference there either.

Any SLI bridge will work on any card that supports SLI

 

EVGA is a board partner that makes aftermarket cards based on Nvidia's design while Nvidia is the designer and core producer. I guess you are trying to compare reference design with aftermarket design? Then Nvidia cards only come with blower cooler which performs worse than open air ones, i.e. the most common type you see people use. That said, not all EVGA models are open air.

Also, yes you can bridge 2 different brand cards together in SLI.  Just to make sure you got that.

Just so you know they have to be the same type of card (ex. an msi gtx 1070 and a gigabyte gtx 1070)

If the Nvidia is the flexible cable, there's no need to worry. The EVGA bridges are rigid and you'll need to measure the number of slots between the SLI fingers to ensure proper fit.
